Chapter 4
Tradition of the Blessed Family

After finding the people whom He was seeking, God undertook the
restoration of all things. The establishment of the Holy Grounds means
the blessing of all things. Thus 120 Holy Grounds were established in
40 nations throughout the world in 1965. This was the turning point of
our fortune.

Restoration and Blessing 2-2-69

In 1960 the Holy Wedding was conducted and Mother was installed. Thus
in 1960 my victory was declared on the individual level. Then I
initiated my public ministry and started the three seven-year courses.
Then the dispensation moved to the family level, with renewed
persecution and attack. The first seven years were a period of trial
in which negative power tried to destroy the family, concentrating
mostly on Mother. Women were despising her and trying to destroy her
in her mission. In those days many members received revelations and
knew my position. Since Mother was my bride, the realm of women was
jealous. But Mother used my tactic and never made excuses or accused
anyone, no matter how unjust people were toward her. In the meantime I
silently laid the family foundation, and then by giving the Blessing,
I laid the foundation for the tribe.

First, the 36 couples were blessed. What is their role? Twelve couples
each represent Adam's family, Noah's family and Jacob's family. There
were 10 generations from Adam to Noah, but Ham and Japeth were also
dispensational figures, signifying a total of 12 generations.
Dispensationally speaking, Abraham's generation was extended through
Isaac and Jacob, again totaling 12 generations. Jacob had 12 tribes,
so this period included a total of 36 generations.

The 12 tribes were intended to indemnify all dispensational history up
to that point which had ended in failure. Jacob could make
restitution, so God gave him 12 children through which to restore
horizontally the providential history. Thus, the 36 couples constitute
the new forefathers of mankind, representing the entire historical
background of God's dispensation.

The history from Adam to Jacob had to be restored on the tribal level,
and the history from Moses to Jesus followed the same pattern. Moses
was equivalent to Noah on the tribal level. In Noah's time God judged
the world by the flood. In the same way, Moses came on the tribal
level and exercised the power of judgment, paralleling Jacob's course.
Jesus' role was that of the second Adam. There were 12 tribes of
Israel, and Jesus had 12 disciples who increased to 70 and later to
120, restoring those numbers from history on the national level. The
120 disciples represented 120 nations, or all people. However, because
of the crucifixion, that ideal was not entirely fulfilled. The
dispensation was prolonged for another 2,000 years. Jesus' work was
completed only spiritually, and there remained no physical central
nation for God to work through. Therefore, the Second Advent was
necessary, as promised by God. The Lord must come physically as well
as spiritually as the third Adam.

When the Messiah comes a second time, he is in a position to restore
horizontally all of the history preceding him, meaning the Old
Testament and New Testament eras, as well as his own Completed
Testament era. In order to restore those three levels, three groups of
12 families were selected. The most important pillar in erecting God's
Kingdom was the blessing of the 36 couples, and erecting that pillar
was most difficult. As history developed, the spirit world was divided
into three different levels. By uniting the 36 couples under one
father, the boundaries between the Old Testament era, the New
Testament era and the Completed Testament era can be broken up and
they can all become one. All would be combined through restitution
here on earth.

The Unification Church has the role of restoring all of history. God
has given me the authority to conduct that restoration, so I am
responsible for Adam's realm, Noah's realm and Jacob's realm.
Therefore, 36 couples were selected for the Blessing. By doing so, the
tribe of the third Israel was created, surrounding the True Parents.
This was the cornerstone of the third Israel. In this case, even
though the people undertaking the dispensation might be individuals, a
family or a tribe, it all had worldwide meaning and impact.

My topic today is "Territory of Goodness." How is that territory
expanded? Certainly it started with the individual, and grew into a
family and tribe, nation and world, but how was it done? Through the
Blessing. How do we build the Kingdom of Heaven on earth? The family
is the building block, and the 36 couples were the first brick laid
here on earth. Next I blessed 72 couples, who represented the tribe;
124 couples represented the national level. That foundation of
Blessing was finished in July 1963.

If Jesus could have fulfilled these Blessings after taking a bride
himself, he could have built the Kingdom at that time. I received much
persecution because of the Blessing, and had to organize heavenly
families under tremendous opposition. Parents accused me of taking
their children and marrying them off in my own way. From God's
standpoint, I was claiming children back for God. But the world didn't
see it that way!

In the Garden of Eden man fell through deceit and falsehood. In
restoration, people are resurrected to the heavenly realm through the
word of God. After 124 couples, 430 couples were blessed, representing
the universal level. This was done in the 4300th year of Korean
history. The Hebrews suffered in Egypt for 430 years, then made a new
beginning. So with the Blessing of 430 couples, God marked a new
beginning. The 4300 years included every conceivable element of both
good and evil men. Actually 434 couples were blessed. The four extra
couples represented people who had suffered in prison, thus opening
the door for resurrection of those in hell.

That Blessing opened the door for all nations and races to enter
heaven, since they represented all aspects of the human race. After
they were blessed in 1968, I made a worldwide tour and blessed 43
couples in other nations. Thus the two Blessings are in positions of
subject and object.

In 1970, 777 couples were blessed, signifying the formation, growth
and perfection. That Blessing included various nationalities, and
through it the heavenly territory was expanded. I personally
indemnified the individual and family levels, and in 1970 after seven
years of Blessing had been conducted, a new dispensation of tribal -
level indemnity began. In 1971, I initiated a crusade in which
families demonstrated sacrificial love for the nation, leaving their
families for three years to go work on the national level. Even though
they had God-given families, they made them a sacrifice for
restoration of the nation. In 1970, 1971, and 1972 the blessed couples
in Korea suffered the most, willingly taking up tribulation and
absorbing what seemed to be many tragedies.

On the foundation of their taking up the cross so gallantly, I could
begin the worldwide mission. In the second seven-year course the tribe
gave itself in a sacrificial way for the national foundation, and in
the third seven-year course from 1974 on, the tribes of the
Unification Church united to give themselves for world restoration.

This is why families here in America are sacrificing their families
for the mission. When I told the families to go to the front line,
there was much grumbling about separation, but you must remember our
ultimate mission is to restore the world. Representing the tribe and
nation, we must give ourselves in a sacrificial way. Once we set this
tradition, the world's people will want to volunteer to do what we
did.

We can set a tradition of sacrifice that can be handed down from
generation to generation, and then you will be liberated from Satan's
accusation that you did nothing worthwhile to serve the world. That is
the most important qualification to win the victory. When Satan knows
there is no more room for accusation, he has to leave us alone. Then
we can create the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth.

1976 saw the culminating victory of heaven on earth. During that year
Moonies were in the headlines everywhere. l went on the offensive on
April 30, 1973, for three and a half years. On that day America
granted me permanent residency here, and in the next three and a half
years I consummated the worldwide level of restoration. When the
battle was won in 1976, it meant that restoration of all past history
was consummated. On September 18, 1976, the historic victory of
Washington Monument was won and then on October 4, 1976 I declared the
Day of Victory of Heaven. On February 23, 1977, I declared Year One of
the Kingdom of Heaven on earth.

The spirit world has been compartmentalized over the ages, but the
victory of heaven meant that there would be no more barriers. After
unity was made between Great Britain and America as subject and
object, I entered Korea in 1978 and conducted a special ceremony to
demolish all the boundaries in spirit world. For this purpose I
conducted a special ceremony on November 2, 1978, in Korea. Until
February 23, 1977, liberation was given only to the religious realms
in spirit world. The rest of the spirit world has always been divided
into the many family trees and nationalities. On the foundation of
religious unity in spirit world, I could lift all the boundaries
between tribes and nations on November 2, 1978. By liberating my tribe
and linking the entire world to it, one tribe in heaven was formed.

Now the entire non-religious world can unite, meaning there is no more
separation in spirit world. The entire spirit world is descending to
work on earth as a unified force.

Territory of Goodness 10-14-79

Because Christianity failed to accept me in 1945, I went on with the
arduous task of winning our own foundation after fourteen long years
of struggle. At that time I erected the foundation upon which Mother
and I could be installed as the first True Parents in the history of
mankind. In other words, by then I had established a bulwark strong
enough that the opposition of all Christianity could not break it
down; no matter what, our movement would have enough strength to
sustain itself and still go on.

Even though Mother was installed as True Mother, we could not live as
a happy family right away. A three-year period of purification and
separation was necessary, a period which was very important prior to
moving on to the next stage of the dispensation. In order to go into
the second seven-year course, all conceivable indemnity must be paid
on a family level. This first seven-year course was the period of
erecting the foundation upon Mother's installation, and the period in
which Mother was to be perfected as the True Mother. It was the period
of growth for Mother herself.

As you know, the human fall came in the perfection level of the growth
stage. Therefore, the seven-year course Mother and I went through
together was the period to cross through the growth stage to
perfection stage, the period in which I would restore and install
Parents' Day, Children's Day, and Day of All Things. The most
important condition Mother and I made during the seven-year course was
that no matter what difficulties or obstacles and hardships came upon
us, we would not complain. We would not even feel discouraged inside,
or anguished or rebellious in any way.

As you can see, it was God's method to utilize Satan to give Father
and Mother the worst kind of test and tribulation. This is the way I
had to be hardened and proven to be the True Parent. For Mother too,
Satan created incredible instances in the first seven years, one after
another, in which Mother could easily have given up and said, "Father,
you are too great a husband and I simply cannot follow you. I'm not
worthy of you, so let me pack up and go." She could very well have
done that many times during those seven years.

To make things worse, I was not a comforting husband. I started out as
the worst kind of cruel husband. That was the standard I set at the
beginning because that's the way I also tested Mother, even harder
than Satan. Knowing that Satan was going to test her, I tested her
myself first. That was my purpose. Even though I tested her worse than
Satan, still some hint of purpose behind could be understood by her.
That made it easier to bear Satan's tests. In this way we became
closer and closer for three and a half years, then another three and a
half years.

After those seven years, our victorious foundation proved in front of
God and in front Satan that I was an invincible husband and that
Mother was an invincible wife. No matter how difficult Satan's
standard was, God was justified in saying that we had passed the test.
The many other blessed couples who came knew that the True Parents had
set the true standard, and they followed that standard by uniting with
them and serving them without a word of complaint. By doing so, they
could obtain the same degree of perfection.

During the seven-year period I had blessed many couples, and they
could easily have exclaimed to me, particularly the women, "I just
don't understand you. What kind of husband are you? How can you treat
your wife like that?" But these blessed couples who passed the test
knew one thing: no matter how many things I did that they didn't
understand, they were at least sure that I was absolutely God-
centered, and whatever I did was for God. The 36 couples, 72, 120, and
430 couples were blessed within that seven-year period, and they knew
one way or another what a difficult path Mother and I trod. Since they
knew what kind of difficulties we had to overcome, they could not
complain.

After that seven-year dispensation the time finally came to set up
God's Day. Only after the seven-year course was completely secured did
I declare God's Day. From the original point of view God's Day should
have actually come first, then Parents' Day and Children's Day and Day
of All Things. But because of restoration, all other conditions had to
be ready before God's Day could be set up. That was finally done on
January 1, 1968. Since God's Day was declared victoriously in 1968,
everything is restored and celebration begins with God's Day. The
first seven-year course was the time in which the True Parents were
concretely established and upon which God's Day, Parents' Day,
Children's Day and Day of All Things could be restored to God.

The second seven-year course is the one in which the blessed couples
had to take a major role. Their responsibilities were to teach the
government and nation how to treat the families of the nation. At the
same time, as the families of the nation, they are teaching other
families how to serve the nation. This second seven-year course was
the period of the total mobilization of the blessed couples. All the
blessed couples in Korea and some blessed couples abroad were
mobilized to take up the torch for the second seven-year course, and
in 1970 I ordered every blessed couple to leave their family. The
wives took up the front-line role and I sent them out. Why? Because
the women had to experience what True Mother experienced before them.
They had to go the same route to learn that particular tribulation.

All the blessed mothers in those days were given their marching orders
and nothing would stop them. They decided to give up their children
and leave them with someone else to be cared for. In this country you
have many welfare organizations, but in Korea there is no such thing.
So they wrote short letters and left their children with their un-
welcoming relatives, knowing that they would be criticized. Their
letters said, "I am not abandoning my child. I love him, and I will
come back in three years. Will you please take care of him until I
come back?"

You can imagine what the parents, in-laws and the public would say.
They bitterly criticized those women and criticized me and our
movement. People said, "Reverend Moon put those couples together and
now he's separating them. He never even thought of their children.
What kind of cruel man is he?" There was no direction from which
criticism didn't come. But during those seven years the one group of
people who adamantly refused to complain against me was the
Unification Church husbands and wives. They looked like victims but
they welcomed the mission, and even the children sometimes said,
"Mommy and Daddy, go ahead and don't worry about me." How could
Unification Church couples be so strong? Because there was a living
example in front of them, Mother and I, who had gone through much more
tribulation. Compared to that suffering, the blessed couples knew that
their own suffering was small.

The major members of the Unification Church knew that incredible
opposition would come to them, but they knew that the most accusation
and criticism would go to me. They felt protective of me, wanting to
shield me and not let my name be tarnished. That's why the Unification
Church core foundation has become tight and strong. Therefore, the
love of God is coming to my family and will be connected to the
blessed couples. That inseparable bond between True Parents and true
blessed couples was made under overwhelming and adverse conditions.

The first six months were the worst period. Throughout the entire
nation there was criticism and negative publicity. People knew all
about our movement and how our young couples were leaving their own
children and going to the front line. As time went on, people knew
they were missionaries of the Unification Church and then they asked,
"Aren't you the women who left their families behind? Why did you do
that?" "Yes, we love our children and we love our husbands, but we
love this nation, the people of the world and God more. We want to
demonstrate by the most painful experience of leaving these children
behind that we want to save this nation. We love this nation and
people more than we love our own children."

After one year these people who were negative began to weep together
with our people, praying together with them and coming to help. Even
without knowing the contents of the Divine Principle they wanted to be
with them and be supportive. After two years passed public opinion was
unanimous that if all the Korean people loved their country as much as
Unification members, then indeed the nation would be saved.
Furthermore, no matter how great the communist threat would become, it
could be stopped. That was the conviction of the people.

What about the children who were left behind? During the first two
years the people thought they were a burden to everyone. Villagers
would talk about the Moonie children and say, "Their mother and father
are crazy." Two years later what happened? Everyone wanted to come
help, wanting to take care of the children for a couple of days to do
something for that young couple before they came back. They
volunteered to serve those children in some way. Even the Korean
government looked at what you people were doing in every corner of the
countryside.

The Christians who were traditionally very negative toward our
movement thought they had a golden opportunity to criticize the
Unification Church and call me all kinds of names, but two years later
the villagers and common people stood up and said to those critics,
"Are you true Christians? We found God in the Unification Church
members. They stood up and fought for us. What kind of Christians are
you?"

In other words, during these three years of tribulation unity was made
with the people, and even unity between the government and the people
was enhanced by our heroic actions. By doing so a condition was
established; by our members' leaving their children for three years,
all other people recognized their sacrificial work and came to value
and respect our movement. Then they wanted to do something to help the
children who were left behind. Thus, through the children a link was
made between our members and other churches and the common people.
That formed a coalition for God's blessing to flow not only to the
Unification Church but through us to all the people, even to negative
Christians and people who criticized us.

Home Church is the Base of the Kingdom of Heaven 1-1-80

Tradition is not important for our sake, but for our children and
grandchildren. It is also very important for society, and for
Unification Church members to come. Without that they will have much
difficulty. We are in the middle of establishing that tradition. I
made sure we would do it, so can you say it is hard? If you complain,
imagine what kind of enemy you will be to the future! This is a very
fortunate place, but if you don't conduct yourself correctly, it is a
very fearful place. Do you believe that? Can you continue establishing
the tradition in the years to come?

The more you know, the more humble you must become. Likewise, if you
work hard you should feel you need to do even more. Just like a stalk
of wheat bows down as the ripening grains get heavy, walking humbly is
the normal thing for man.

The Dispensation of Restoration and Myself 4-6-80

We have the tradition that married couples separate to work hard, and
everyone upholds that tradition. You cannot find that anywhere else in
the world.

True Parent's Mission 4-20-80

Three hundred and sixty homes represent 360 degrees or all directions.
One year of twelve months is a complete cycle of seasons, or 360 days
according to the lunar calendar. Three hundred and sixty contains both
the numbers twelve and three. The 36 couples represent the entire
history of mankind. So all meaning is included in 360 homes.

Home Church and Myself 72-74-80

Parents' Day was established because, for the first time in history,
True Parents fulfilled the conditions for proclaiming to the world;
"We have reached the original state of man and women, we are the
parents of mankind." On that foundation, many children have now
proclaimed, "I have chosen to follow these True Parents; I do not wish
to return to the world in which love is more false than true." History
needed a Parents' Day and a Children's Day to clear the record and set
the proper standard.

Because of Children's Day, children now have the opportunity to
liberate themselves from evil, become rooted in true love and belong
to True Parents. Children's Day gives you the opportunity to announce,
"I stand here determined to restore myself to the original state of a
child. I will love my True Parents more than anyone in history ever
loved their physical parents. No matter what may come against me --
even death -- I will not be separated from this true love embodied in
God and True Parents." Children's Day is a day of proclamation on the
part of children. Without making such a declaration, you cannot return
to the realm of true children. Do you understand?

True Parents and true children have come together, but what about true
things of creation? Satan still possesses the things of the world.
Ever since mankind fell and created false parents and children, all
things have suffered under the control of a false owner. Thus we need
a day through which all things can escape their previous ownership and
find their way back to their true ownership.

All things actually long to return to their true owner. Therefore,
through fund raising, we can restore them. We devote our whole heart
and love to restoring all things to their rightful ownership, enabling
them to enter the realm of true love. All things need their day of
proclamation, similar to the day of True Parents and true children.
That day was proclaimed three years after the establishment of
Parents' Day and Children's Day. It happened exactly 21 years ago. So
today is the 21st proclamation of the Day of All Things.

If you ask True Parents what they most fervently desire, they will
say, "To restore our children and return to the original state of
God's love." If you ask true children the same thing, they will
answer, "As children, our only wish is to be connected with the True
Parents, to live with them, and to return to the domain of God's
love." True children would not expect to go directly to God without
parents. Without True Parents, it is impossible to become perfect
objects to God and live happily ever after with Him as your subject.
Do children need parents, or can they manage without them? Parents are
absolutely necessary.

The Day of All Things 6-11-83

February 1st, 1985, at 3:00 a.m., I called Mother at East Garden from
Danbury and said, "Pray for the liberation of hell and the creation of
a highway from hell to heaven." That particular historical prayer of
True Parents -- Mother in East Garden and Father at Danbury -- laid
the historical foundation to liberate the hellish world. The highway
has now been laid. Because of this, all the good ancestors in spirit
world can now go down to the bottom of hell in spirit world and on
earth to evangelize. Before this prayer, they were blocked and could
not come down here on earth.

Reflection of 1986 12-28-86

When God's true love is consummated, we call that the fulfillment of
the heavenly four position foundation. This is an absolutely clear
sequence. The heavenly four positions are the love of God, love
between husband and wife, and then the love of children and parents.
Thus the Unification Church celebrates four major holidays each year:
Parents' Day, Children's Day, Day of All Things, and God's Day. We are
headed toward the perfection of people, all things, and the perfection
of the joy of God.

The heavenly four positions are the love of God, love between husband
and wife, and then love of parents and children. Thus the Unification
Church celebrates four major holidays each year: Parents' Day,
Children's Day, Day of All Things and God's Day.

God's Day 1-1-87

After a man comes as the standard-bearer, there must also be a woman
as the standard-bearer. Who shall be that woman? She absolutely
conforms to the model which the man established. True Mother herself
does not actually create the mold for the family, tribe, or nation.
Mother's way of fulfilling is by absolutely following the True
Father's tradition, fitting perfectly into that tradition and becoming
the model woman standard-bearer.

Even if Mother's leg was too long, it must be cut so that she could
fit into the mold. She has to fit into that mold somehow. You might
think, "What a dictator Reverend Moon is!" But that is wrong because I
cut my own leg, my own arm, my own eyes and ears, figuratively
speaking, to fit into the mold which God made.

You might say, "Father is going this way but my physical parents are
going another way, so I can ease up on my standard." But, if
necessary, you must absolutely isolate yourself to focus on the
primary job of fitting into the God-made mold for perfection. It is an
absolute standard.

Even your hometown and your physical parents and relatives are not
part of the same clan as the True Parents. When you come back from
visiting them, you sprinkle Holy Salt on yourself and say, "I'm coming
back to Reverend Moon's Unification Church model now. I am not stained
by the world's secular traditions." You are establishing the standard
of the individual living for the sake of the family, the family for
the sake of the tribe, the tribe for the sake of the nation, the
nation for the world. If you cannot accomplish it in this world, you
must accomplish it anyway in the spirit world. This is your destiny, a
mandate from God.

In an international marriage, if one spouse speaks English and the
other speaks German, what language would the children speak? The
children may say, "I've got to learn the language of my mother, which
is German, and the language of my father, which is English." Then if
the son marries a Japanese, the children will speak Japanese and
English. If there are 100 grandchildren, they will speak multitudes of
different languages. How impossible it would be for that family! You
need one language that is spoken in all families.

If you have several children and one marries a Korean, one a Japanese,
one a Chinese, Brazilian, Hispanic, German, or African, they would all
have to speak through interpreters. Where would you find all those
interpreters? A world library would have to contain books from
hundreds of different countries -- the same book would have to be
printed in 100 different languages! Therefore, for the sake of the
future, the simplest solution would be to unify the languages, setting
up one language as the mother tongue.

Many Americans are thinking, "A language revolution like that is
impossible." Everyone who thinks a language revolution is impossible,
raise your hands please. Only self-centered, individualistic people
would say it is "impossible." The arrogant will perish in the future.
Today, you should resolve to learn the True Parents' mother tongue.
Why? For the sake of the unification of humanity, for the future.
Think, "In order to give great blessing to our children, I have to
learn the mother tongue of Korean."

The Model, and Those Who are Recognized
in Providential History 3-15-87

We have tradition. That tradition is consistent. It doesn't go one way
under one circumstance and then change and go in another direction
another time. It is consistent with one direct line. The result will
always meet with the cause. They will form one great big circle. Thus
our tradition is following our system of thought. We are actually
carrying out that thought within our tradition. We are not satisfied
with just thinking about it, but we also must do it.

Our Pride 3-22-87

As church members, we should each do at least one seven-day fast. This
time is a good opportunity for that. Today would be a good time to
start. Seven days of fasting actually represent forty days of fasting
from the providential viewpoint. If we repeat that condition for three
years, then that is a total of 120 days. That will be a very precious
condition, so don't take it lightly.

This three-year transition time -- this year and next year and the
year after -- will be very significant. For those who have never
fasted for seven days since joining the church, today is the best time
to begin, followed by forty days of special activity. If you do that
for three years, it will serve you well for your individual indemnity.

Eighty-four is the basic number we should restore. This represents the
three main disciples, the 12 apostles, and the 72 disciples of Jesus.
We have to re-indemnify Jesus' course. In Jesus' time, the 12 and the
72 disciples should have united to help Jesus, so he wouldn't have to
go the way of the cross. Jesus needed to make that kind of foundation
in order to go to the Roman Empire and move to the world level. Jesus
didn't have those people to help him, so he had to go to the cross.
Now, it is our time to indemnify what occurred in Jesus' time. After
that, we will be standing in the third Adam's position. Do you follow?

From there you can receive the Blessing. Jesus could not receive the
Blessing for over 2,000 years. Receiving the Blessing means standing
upon Jesus' foundation. You can do that. That is the Principle view
point. Do you know what I mean? Therefore, we need 84 spiritual
children. If you work for seven years, gaining twelve each year, that
would come to one member per month. Then for the first time, after
Jesus' position is restored, the third Adam's position will be
completely re-indemnified.

The home church came into being to accomplish this in the easiest way.
We must re-indemnify the number 84 through home church. That's what I
have been doing through blessing the 3 couples and the 36 couples, the
120, the 430, and on to the 777 to re-indemnify and renew that
foundation. Likewise, we have to do that much, each of us. When we
accomplish that, we become the messiah not only on the individual and
family levels, but also on the clan level. We at least have to become
the messiah of the clan level by accomplishing that number of 84.

I have been working all this time to pay the indemnity for the world-
level foundation, but you only have to establish the clan level. We
must connect and re-indemnify the clan level, the national level, and
the world level. Unless you complete the clan level, you cannot
connect with my world foundation. Do you understand? You need a
personal foundation. After you indemnify, you will be standing in the
third Adam's position, so you can receive the Blessing. This is the
Principle. There's always a standard, a very rigid rule. I've never
emphasized this so much before. Up to the very end of the world, we
must continue this. My own clan and family will go to a certain place
in Heaven and you cannot follow unless you have connected with the
world level foundation. You are not at that kind of level now. From
now on, you have to make that foundation.

You must restore what occurred at Jesus' time, making a foundation
there. Upon that you can connect with my world-level foundation.
Otherwise, there is no way.

You know me well. I am the founder of the Unification Church and you
received the Blessing through me. But you can't necessarily follow me
in spirit world. All the gates are open in spirit world, but you are
not making the right preparation. You cannot move. First of all, you
must make a foundation of indemnity. That is the problem. You must
make your foundation at the clan level, which represents Jesus' time.
Because of the failure at that time, restoration history extended
2,000 years. You have to make more than Jesus' foundation. After that,
you can receive the Blessing.

This is the spiritual rule, not my rule. I followed this rule also.
You must integrate with my foundation by making your own personal
foundation. l am the father; you are the children. Children can
automatically inherit their parents' property. But you don't have the
foundation. Some of your ancestors don't want to indemnify. After the
foundation, I am your ancestor. You will then receive the proper
indemnification.

Centering on this, we are making this home church system -- the 360
homes. Home church is Cain, the external level. Then you can restore
your clan -- the Abel internal level -- easily. Do you know what I
mean? Automatically, Cain and Abel can unite. That is what home church
is.

Indemnity requires a conditional time period and also a sacrificial
offering. You as the central figure in the condition must work for a
certain period of time and then an offering to God can be made.
Therefore, you must work harder in order to restore Cain's place.
Satan will not release his claim on the members -- only after a
sacrifice. After that, Satan will release you. So you members of the
Unification Church absolutely need indemnity. I knew the importance of
indemnity, so I have taken on indemnity all my lifetime. My situation
is world-wide; your situation is the clan foundation. If I didn't make
the world foundation, then you wouldn't be able to make the clan level
foundation. I came to pay the indemnity to make that foundation.

That's True Parents' property. If you want to inherit my property, you
have to make your foundation. Otherwise, you cannot connect with the
world level foundation of mine. We need 12 disciples plus 72.
Together, these make 84. We must indemnify the failure at Jesus' time
and take it back from Satan's world. Upon that, you can stand on the
world foundation level and then you can receive the Blessing.
Otherwise, the Blessing doesn't appear. So we need home church.

Home church means the restoration of the Cain level. Upon that, the
family level can stand. If you don't stand on that, True Parents'
victory doesn't mean anything to you. It's that important.

Precious Existence 7-19-87

You need to develop a consciousness of tradition. For instance, the
first time you enter a room each day, you should smile at the family
members, but in a distinct order. First you smile at your father,
expressing love and respect; then you smile at your mother, and
finally at your wife. You don't smile at your wife and talk to her
first, ignoring your father and mother until later. Americans do not
even think of such things, do you? You think, "Just you and me. We
don't need our parents. We don't need children until we have planned
for them." But such attitudes have no place. God cannot dwell in such
families.

The Way to Grow 8-30-87

The third event which took place was the Blessing of 6,516 couples on
October 30, 1988. The most amazing characteristic of that Blessing was
the international matching between Koreans and Japanese. Korea and
Japan were enemy nations for a very long time, and the emotional
wounds have never been healed. By this mixing up, the two countries
can become one. The emotional strains and hurts are being removed.

This Blessing was a huge event. The entire nation of Korea was
watching. Likewise, the Japanese government couldn't believe what was
happening. By the time they figured it out, it was all over. Koreans
and Japanese were matched in 99.9 percent of the couples. They could
not speak to one another, for the most part; they could just use sign
language. The only way for them to stay together in the crowd was lo
hold hands. In fallen history there was never such an event. Only in
God's history could such a thing be possible. Another amazing point is
that everyone joyfully and faithfully accepted their match -- 100
percent. That was a great miracle and victory in Korea.

The fall of man brought individual separation and enmity and
ultimately enemy nations. This Blessing brought two enemy nations
together into one through the couples. They are going beyond their own
countries. No longer do they even think of themselves as part of Korea
or Japan. The Heavenly Kingdom is the only nation they belong to.
Satan has no more business with them. They have a higher foundation of
true love, and since Satan can never follow the true love way, he has
to say goodbye!

Children's Day 9-11-88

Today my topic is the tribal messiah. You know how difficult it is to
be the tribal messiah. Do you think you can go the way of true love
without a leader, a guide? The course you have to follow is for your
body and mind to become one, your couple to become one, your family to
become one. Then you can unite your tribe.

The providence of the tribal messiah could only be established after
Father had sacrificed the family and tribe for the nation and world.
Three years ago, after Father had paid indemnity for 40 years, the
Moon clan asked Father to be their leader. Since Father became the
head of the Moon clan, the tribal messiah providence could start. That
is the basis for you to become tribal messiahs. Now is the time for
you to go back to your home area to your relatives and family members
who have sacrificed for the sake of the world. You must ask them with
tears for forgiveness for not having loved them during this time and
in that way restore them.

Father has blessed 21,000 couples worldwide. They represent the
foundation that Jesus could not establish. Jesus himself could not
receive the blessing and establish the family foundation. But now the
Unification Church members have already received the blessing and have
children. Only by becoming parents can the messiah actually be the
root of mankind. Only then can the providence of God multiply. Now the
Unification Church has multiplied to 21,000 blessed couples.

In Korean politics there are regional factions, like the Kyongsang
province faction centered on Kim Yong-sam, but in the Unification
Church there are no factions. The Unification Church blessed families
represent all mankind. If at the time of Jesus the six prepared
couples of his family had united, he would not have had to go his
public course. He would have married and, based on the unity of his
own physical family, the Jewish nation could have united with him. Now
the unity of the family of Jesus, including the family of John the
Baptist, is represented worldwide by the 21,000 blessed families.

The Tribal Messiah 2-5-89

All of us have so many childhood memories. We long to go home. In the
spirit world we will need a museum exhibiting the places we loved.
It's a beautiful experience to return to a place you loved long ago
and find It the same, to find a tree as you remembered it.

We have to preserve the things that remind us of our past. In the
Unification Church, too, we must do the same. Would it be better for
you if we preserve the original church building or tear it down and
build a new one? Which would give you more pleasure? You would be
happy to find things as they were when the movement began. Would you
like to go to my hometown? But I won't let you go. If you still want
to go, then I'll let you. You have to have such a strong desire. Why
don't we have a church museum? We have to make a museum that shows the
history of the church from the beginning.

Hometown 2-12-89

Are you connected with my lineage? You can say yes because of the Holy
Wine Ceremony. You are the branches connected with the trunk. The most
beautiful part of the blessing from True Parents is receiving the Holy
Wine, which will change your blood lineage from the satanic side to
the True Parents' lineage. Your children will become children of God,
in His direct blood lineage. This blessing shall entitle you to enter
the Kingdom of Heaven.

However, you have a job. Since your family is an Abel family, that
means you need a Cain family surrounding you. You must serve and
witness to them. When you have united your Abel and Cain families,
then the father and mother can be connected to them. True Parents are
coming to your family now and you are one with them. Now all you have
to do is restore your tribe, or Cain families. That is why I announced
that you are to become tribal messiahs. The homecoming has begun.
Jesus wanted an Abel family, and the Lord of the Second Advent wants
restoration of Cain families. Both shall be accomplished by you so
that you can become one with True Parents. This is such an incredible
opportunity.

Each blessed family is standing in the Abel position and must save the
Cain families, which means our relatives. Father has pioneered the
victorious path and now you can be connected. This will create a
unified world. True Parents are the global messiah. If you unite with
this condition, you shall become tribal messiahs, and even eventually
national messiahs.

The End of the World and Our Age 3-19-89

As the universal Messiah, I have the power to anoint you as tribal
messiahs. Therefore, you must inherit my messiahship. How can you do
that? All you have to do is rectify the situations of the first and
the second Adam by setting indemnity conditions. The failure of the
first Adam is that he could not receive the second blessing. You were
blessed, so your position is greater than Adam's. I am like the trunk
of a big tree. Each one of us must become a part of the tree by
grafting ourselves into it. If you are grafted into the tree, then you
already paid the indemnity for the failure of the first Adam. Jesus
also did not receive the Blessing. By uniting with the third Adam
level, you can become a national messiah.

You are walking the path now as the family level and tribal level
messiah. I am working up from the national messiahship to the
worldwide messiahship. You are following my footsteps; Satan can have
no accusation toward you. All you have to do is graft into this third
Adam's root. All of humanity will have one root.

God's lineage will go on, bequeathing the tradition from one gen-
eration to the next. The condition is that you must love True Parents
more than anybody else under the sun. Otherwise you cannot become one
with True Parents. When you go to your hometown or your home church in
the tribal messiah's role, there will be no more persecution, because
I paid the debt. Follow my footsteps; gather the harvest.

Where is my hometown? North Korea is my ultimate hometown; it is your
hometown, too. Now is the time for reorganization. The first, second,
and third Adam are all consummated in True Parents. Therefore, I need
to have 12 restored disciples, and then 72, 120, and 430 disciples.
When you accomplish your homecoming, an organization of 12 tribes
shall be made. You will eventually belong to a certain tribe of
heaven. Your race, color, and nationality has no meaning. What has
meaning is how much you can receive the support of spiritual world and
truly create your own spiritual tribe.

Ultimately all of us will create the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth. That
is our home on earth. The Kingdom of Heaven in spiritual world is our
home for eternity. How can we return to those homes, on earth and in
heaven? First, through True Parents; second, through citizenship; and
third through homecoming. These are the three most important things
for you to acquire.
